I think Neris is more of an 8th inning guy. I disagree with Girardi appointing him the closer because when his splitter isn't working, he is screwed. He also has a track record of mediocrity on the 2nd day of a back to back.

April 6, 20214 yr Trevor May...... Wow.... Remember when he was our top pitching prospect and one of the "Baby Aces?"

April 7, 20214 yr Velasquez is back to being velasquez. Why is this ahole still on the team. Every year it’s the same crap
April 7, 20214 yr Girardi should have let Vinny leave the game on a high after his 1 inning. This guy doesn't have the mental makeup to pitch anymore than that. How the flying ef do you walk 4 guys in an inning?

April 7, 20214 yr Velasquez doesn’t belong on a major league roster. This should be his absolute last chance tonight.

April 7, 20214 yr I assume Velasquez has the master set of keys to open Citizens Bank Park, and if he’s released no one else is able to enter the building. Hard to believe it’s been 5 years of bad pitching and they hold onto him. He’s like a nightmare that you have every night, and the Phillies brass lays their head on a pillow thinking tonight will be a good sleep.
April 7, 20214 yr Their still holding out for the Velasquez that had that 13 strikeout game I guess - he sucks
April 7, 20214 yr Damn - that’s two that Harper grooved tonight but didn’t find the gap. He’s making good contact - he’ll break out soon

He’s making good contact - he’ll break out soon Yeah a few guys are hitting balls hard and kind of getting unlucky. But yeah of all guys to worry about Harper isn’t one of them really. We’re 4-1 with the offense really not coming together yet.
